Bico Survey - Journal July 31 Pt. Lobos. 1135 Adult recently arrived at 2 - now standing and preening. Note: In contrast with the pelagic Cormorant, the brandti do not usually come directly to the nest site to relieve its parent. I have usually seen them walk not fly up to the nest and then stand about drying & preening before approaching the nest. 1135-2 - newly arrived parent now walks to cliff face, looks around, preens a little, [illegible] steps closer to edge - now flies into water directly below, swims 4-5 feet out and dives. - a long dive - over 60 seconds. 1140 a bird stands 1 foot to right of 2 but not clearly associated with it, appears to be drying, preens. 1140 an adult has been standing near 1, not associated yet. Diving and feeding occurs often directly below nest sites, as well as bathing. 1145 - now newly arrived at 1 seems to associate w/ nest - the parent rises off nest, new one moves in takes its place and settles down. Parent which rose stretches and preens. 1149 - 3 - feeding takes place. 1150 - 3 - another " " 1152-2 - appears unattended. An adult stands 2 feet above on a rock - moves up and away.
